Although the majority of my youth was misappropriated by the education establishment, I somehow managed to survive the attendant Thoughtocaust.
I was robbed of my time, but not my mind.
Millions of others weren't so lucky.
No child deserves such a fate, and via Humanity I intend to build the strongest possible case against Centralized education systems and the dysfunctional lives/societies they so often engender.
I highly recommend reading the entire article below and all related materials.
And wish I'd discovered them earlier...

Met A Very Interesting Fellow Recently...
An older, formerly homeless dude who's been offering some great advice and insights for the Decentralized Community project. He's an intelligent, funny and creative guy, with some very novel ideas for helping people out.. and he even found me a boombox!
Like most of the homeless/formerly homeless people I've spoken with, he's not concerned with material wealth, his primary desire being to give of himself and help others who are struggling with homelessness and addiction...
I have a strong feeling he's going to be an instrumental member of the Decentralized Community.
People who've been to hell and back, lost everything and stared down death generally seem to have also dispensed with the pretensions and artificiality which so pervade mainstream society. They are far more authentic, interesting, loyal and open than those one would normally brush elbows with...
These people are the genuine article and spending some time with them can be a very refreshing and rewarding experience...
I wholeheartedly recommend it.

The New West News Leader Reports:
Parade crashers stage Santa 'dance party' on Columbia Street
"Everybody was surprised," said Melanie Vogel, executive director of Hyack Festival Association, which organized the parade.
The mob of Santa-clad revellers were making lots of noise, many carrying "boom box" stereos. The group was dancing and cheering as they joined the parade—an unofficial entry.
"It was not organized by Hyack at all," said Vogel, adding that most people in the crowd thought it was all quite funny and entertaining.
The group had a portable trampoline, and a few had sleds that they carried along.
Most wore Santa robes and hats—some quite elaborate, while others looked cobbled together. A few others wore risqué Ms. Claus outfits.
The group danced its way with the parade down towards New Westminster SkyTrain Station, at the corner of Eighth and Columbia, where they lingered and continued their "dance party."
The crowd seemed to enjoy the spectacle, Vogel said.
